When Dr. Laura Remsen came to Nevada in the spring of 2002, she knew she didn’t want to live in Reno; she’s from a tiny town in Idaho and doesn’t consider herself a city person. When she saw that a position was open at a clinic 35 miles east of Reno, she was intrigued and quickly secured an interview. It just so happened that the previous owner was leaving, so Dr. Remsen took the chance to purchase the clinic She’s owned and operated Animal Care Center in Fernley ever since [citation].
